25 Million Views Later, Netflix Loses All 100 Episodes of NBC’s Hit Drama
A cult-classic 100-episode thriller vanishes from Netflix on June 7, sending fans scrambling for a last-minute binge. Watch now—or wait to see where it resurfaces next.
Heads up: Netflix is about to pull a fast one with a legit cult favorite. The 100-episode thriller series 'Blindspot' is leaving the service on June 7. Yep, the exact day it first showed up last year. One year in, one year out. If you want to binge it before it vanishes, the clock is very much ticking.
What the show actually is
'Blindspot' stars Jaimie Alexander and Ashley Johnson. It opens with a woman, later called Jane Doe, discovered naked inside a duffel bag in the middle of Times Square. She has no memory, and her entire body is covered in fresh tattoos. One of them? The name of FBI agent Kurt Weller splashed across her back. Weller and his team pull the thread: every tattoo is a breadcrumb to who Jane really is. The more clues they follow, the clearer it gets that Jane might not be able to trust the people closest to her.
Why people got hooked (and kept watching)
This is one of those network thrillers that remembers TV can be fun. It leans dark but still sneaks in levity, and while it absolutely dips into cliche and occasional info-dumps, it stays entertaining. You do have to suspend your disbelief — frequently — but that looseness lets the action pop and the lighter beats land.
"Why watch a show this silly? In part because Alexander is able to make us empathize with Jane's emotional upheaval while still creating a heroine who is believably feisty and capable."
- critic Robert Bianco
Casual viewers were on board too, even with some narrative wobble and the obvious overlap with other mid-2010s thrillers like 'The Blacklist.'
"Where it lacks in originality, it actually is able to create a harsh tension via a modern filming style and a great soundtrack too. Characters are given lots of depth, and I think this show was underrated considering the big potential it had."
The quick hit
- Show: 'Blindspot' (100 episodes)
- Where: Leaving Netflix
- When: June 7
- Why that date is weird: It arrived on Netflix June 7 last year, so this is a tidy one-year licensing window
- Where it goes next: Not announced yet, which is why fans are stressing
Bottom line: if you have been meaning to finally try 'Blindspot' or revisit the tattoo-puzzle chaos, you have until June 7. After that, your guess is as good as mine on where it lands next.
